Time for some new shoes, which will be faster?

Option 1: 4 NT01's
Option 2: 2 NT01's and 2 MT ET Street SS's

Do you think the MT ET Street SS's will provide enough additional forward traction to overcome their lower lateral traction for auto-x speeds up to approx 70 mph, some oval track racing and general street shenanigans?

I am going through the same thing right now. Car is spinning on paved roads through 3rd because rears are down to wear markers. Someone also recommended to me some Nitto NT555 G2 tire. My car is putting down close to 500 rwhp but I don't want to run a pure drag radial since its my fair weather daily.

For autox you will not want to be running drag radials (you could MAYBE get away with nitton 555R, but there are far better tires to use).
I would like to add the third option of Bridgestone RE71R's, they are THE go-to autocross tire atm, and even mustangs seem to do very well with them.
There's also R888s, if they come in a size that fits your wheels.
